Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Information on false paths in a circuit is useful for design and test. The use of this information may contribute not only in reducing the time required for logic synthesis, the area, the test generation time and the test application time of the circuit but also in alleviating the over-testing. Since identification of false paths at gate-level is hard for large circuits with huge number of paths, several methods using high-level design information, e.g. register transfer level (RTL) structural information or high-level synthesis information, have been proposed. These methods are effective only if the correspondence between paths at RTL and those at gate-level is available. Until now, the correspondence has been established only by module interface preserving-logic synthesis. In this paper, we propose a method of mapping an RTL path to the gate-level paths without restricting the logic synthesis. The method first maps each bit slice RTL signal line of an RTL path to a gate level signal line by considering the functional equivalence of those signal lines. Then the RTL path are mapped to gate level paths using these correspondences.
